win7 activation error

[HeavyLink]

so i built a pc for my friend and i had a disk for win7 professional 64-bit which is legit and we then got a legit key from MMOGA.net to activate it, which we did and all was fine, however a few days ago he got this activation error message "0x8007232b" no side message that was it apart from contact you system admin, its been more than the 30 day free trail, so why has this poped up again? it was fine when we activated it the first time and no we can not find the email with the code in.

any ideas here?

It sounds like the activation key you bought isn't for a retail or OEM version of Windows. The 0x8007232b code relates to Windows activation via KMS, which is typically used in large-scale corporate networks and is not suitable for home users.

The website you used also seems very suspect in my eyes. They sell Windows 7 Pro OEM for 16.99 EUR and Office Pro 2013 for 74.99 EUR?! Yeah, right!
